A late Palace flurry meant they ended up with more shots, but most of them were blocked.

Palace were very Pulis, with low possession (40.5%) and plenty of tackles, but Norwich played more long balls.

Marouane Chamakh might not strike you as a very Pulis player but he certainly put himself about a bit - no player had more ball recoveries, suffered more fouls or attempted more aerial duels, while only Leroy Fer attempted more tackles. What he needs, though, is a goal - which is just about all Gary Hooper did in the area for Norwich, but Chris Hughton won't mind.

The two stripey sides rained in 14 shots apiece, but whereas half of the home side's were accurate, the Baggies only hit the target once - for Chris Brunt's goal. That's right, the White Hart Lane hero Tim Krul didn't make a single save...

Steve Clarke's half-time team-talk obviously worked, because after the break the Baggies were twice as effective in Newcastle's third.

Nobody made more tackles or interceptions than Yohan Cabaye, who was also Newcastle's second busiest passer.
